Hi everyone,

It has been 2 1/2 years since my treatment for Cancer and am Grateful to the Lord everday that I am alive and Cancer Free. I had Lymphoma and was treated at Yale New Haven Cancer Center in CT. I'm so thankful that my Oncologist has given me the green light to have the lapband procedure. Has anyone here on the LBT board know of anyone who had cancer and then got the lapband. I did meet someone at a Seminar who had breast cancer and then got the lapband and she has been successful.

Renee,

Praise God for your recovery and We'll pray for as great a success with your banding.

My 23 yr old daughter just had cancer surgery this past June and although its still recent she has been doing very well. She Recently had further problems as the Dr's thought she had Colon cancer. I know its hard to believe anyone would be happy to find out they have chrones but she was glad it wasn't cancer.

Take care and keep us posted

Wonderful news, you've jumped one hurdle, now on to the next. Best of luck to you!

Renee,

Glad you are doing better. Will send a prayer for you.

Greg,

Glad that your daughter is ok. Will send a prayer for her too.

Welcome! It is always nice to hear when somebody gets an all clear sign from Cancer. Good luck!

Renee... what wonderful news, and its even more awesome that you know Who to give the credit to for your healing.

PLEASE keep us posted on your progess. Were just as excited about this as you are.

Corgi, I'm always really bad with this kind of subject. I never know the right words to say, but I want you to know that my heart is saying all the right stuff, I just can't seem to make the words follow. But it's all good, and I'm so happy for you. Good luck to you.

Hi Renee

Congratulations both ways.

I don't know anyone who has suffered cancer and has been banded. But I know cancer is awful and watched my sister battle it.

Best of luck to you.

Renee that is awesome news. May you have many new blessing sent your way.

Greg glad to hear that your daughter is doing better.

Best of luck to you, Corgi! You have already accomplished so much!

Greg, hope your daughter continues to get better.

Corgi, that is wonderful! Just think by the time you reach your 5 years cancer-free point how much healthier (and thinner) you'll be!

Greg,

Crohns and Ulcerated Colitis are in the same family, I know because I have UC. As long as your daughter takes her meds and gets regular check ups she will be fine.

Everyone,

There is so much LOVE here thanks for all your encouraging words.

I am happy for you.

Cancer hits real close to home for me. I love hearing sotires of success with this dreadful disease. I have lost a son to it and I have a son in remission ..Congratulations for beating it I'm sure you are going to be very successful with your band, this is the easy part compared to what you have endured

I am truly sorry to hear about your son but grateful to hear about your other son. I lost my Aunt about 4 years ago and then a dear close friend to breast cancer last year. Until it happens you or your family, it is so hard to understand, it is so ugly. But their is a God who is bigger then Cancer. I wish you peace.

Renee

Maybe getting banded is your reward for having had to endure cancer. So glad you are better now.
